The case of the culottes... To be honest, I never thought I'd wear a pair one day, as they're not really my style. I don't find them to be very flattering : while it's great to wear clothes that are a little loose, they can't be too baggy either, otherwise it just looks like you're hiding behind them.

Yet culottes are huge this season, and the trend doesn't seem to go anywhere. Fashionistas were seen leaving their skinny jeans at home, and embracing a a less serious approach to fashion. After all, aren't culottes worn by clowns ?

The most important thing to remember when you decide to wear this kind of pants, is that even though it is bigger than your usual jeans or pants, it's no reason to go sloppy or too casual either. In fact, culottes are best worn with fitted tops and jackets, and heels are perfect to give you some height. Of course, you could also try them with sneakers or slipons, which would look 'oh so fashion' and cool, but I think I'll pass as I'm not tall enough to pull this off (the little girl dressed in her dad's pants ? Yeah, that would be me...)

Recently, I invested in several similar models, like this navy one from Zara, perfect for the beginning of fall, and two others, one in burgundy, one in grey, for the upcoming winter, as they're respectively in suede and wool. I'll probably wear them with a very fitted leather jacket or a blazer, and low-heel boots will be great with them.

When there's a new trend, don't hesitate to try different models to see which one fits you better, and once you've found ways to wear it while being faithful to your style, you've won !
